'Stomach cancer thus might be a secondary consequence of the microbe’s aggressive search for nutrients. For the H. pylori, “there’s no selective pressure to cause cancer in 80 years. The selective pressure is to acquire iron now,” Karen Guillemin, a microbiologist at the University of Oregon, said'

"In their study, published on Monday in the journal Cell, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania suggest that serotonin reduction is triggered by remnants of the virus lingering in the gut. Depleted serotonin could especially explain memory problems and some neurological and cognitive symptoms of long Covid, they say."

RT by @joseggusmao: Mário Machado, um neonazi condenado, fez parte do grupo que espalhou o terror na noite em que mataram Alcindo Monteiro. É incompreensível que Mamadou Ba seja condenado por constatar este facto. Espero que em em segunda instância se anule esta decisão.

"The people in power are still doubling down on everything that brought us here. They are still outsourcing the pandemic response to the rapacious private healthcare industry. They are still implying that the Covid dead have only themselves to blame—after all, “we have the tools.” They are still insisting that the fault must not be in our stars but in ourselves, transforming an issue of public health into one of personal responsibility."

'Dr. Marc Sala, co-director of the Northwestern Medicine Comprehensive Covid-19 Center, said fatigue has become the dominant complaint from his patients. That could be because Covid symptoms are becoming milder overall — he no longer regularly sees patients with severe respiratory damage, and so fatigue has come to the forefront, he said. It’s also possible that fatigue could be a more common symptom with the newer variants, he said.'

@DrALJONES The Balfour Declaration of 1917 was a disaster, as was the Anglo-French Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916 (https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2018/11/2/more-than-a-century-on-the-balfour-declaration-explained; https://www.britannica.com/event/Balfour-Declaration; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes%E2%80%93Picot_Agreement). The legacy of our colonialism is truly appalling!
People do not want to engage with logos.
"We have found that readers generally do not engage with content posted on the journal handles and we have had limited success with trying things like threads and tagging thought leaders. Where the engagement with journals content happens is with organic posting — an author or collaborator or thought leader will decide to post a journal article, summarize, and offer an opinion. These posts tend to enjoy a significant amount of engagement."

The effects of the CTLA4 deletion were not very surprising, what's fascinating here is how it compares to the double mutants (PD1/CTLA4).
"CTLA4 disrupted CART19 cells display prolonged surface CAR expression, increased proliferation, and enhanced CART19 effector function supported by unopposed CD28 co-stimulation, which is lost in CART19 cells deficient for both PD-1 and CTLA4"
